Since I was a child, I knew that I was a beauty, with a beautiful face that was beyond the ordinary.

When I was a child, my father often hugged me and proudly told his family that I was his most important treasure and that I could win him status and money in the future. Although I am only the daughter of my father and a dancing girl, and I am not the eldest lady of the Zhao family, because of his words, I have a very high status in the Zhao Mansion.

When I was young, I didn't know what my father meant, but as I grew up, I began to understand that I was just a tool for him to seek profit. At first, I was a little sad, but then I began to feel relieved: because I was useful to my father, I was able to call the wind and rain in the Zhao Mansion, and if I was a useless waste, then I would have no status like other young ladies in the Zhao Mansion. So I'm starting to rejoice that I'm a useful person.

The first time I met him, I was sixteen years old.

That year, an unusual guest came to the house, and the housekeeper brought me at my father's beckoning and asked me to toast the distinguished guests in the house. My father intended to give me to a dignitary as a concubine, so he wouldn't let me come out to show my face as an ordinary guest, and since he had this intention this time, this guest must be extraordinary. Understanding my father's intentions, I carefully dressed up before following the butler to the antechamber.

If someone had told me that I would fall in love with a man at first sight, I would have scoffed at it. I am the pearl of my father's palm, a tool for him to consolidate his position and wealth, I don't need to have love, I just need that man is rich and status.

But now I have a feeling of love at first sight. The man who was regarded as a guest of honor by his father, although he was not very handsome, but his narrow and long Danfeng eyes added color to his facial features, and the whole person revealed a smell of evil spirit. As soon as I stepped through the door, I could clearly see that the man's eyes were also shining.

Later, when I asked the housekeeper, I learned that his name was Lü Buwei, and he was born in a merchant family in Weiguo. At first, the Lu family was just an ordinary jeweler, but since he was in charge of the Lu family's business, the Lu family's business has become bigger and bigger, and few people in the Seven Kingdoms can compare with it. He's a wizard.

That night, my father asked me if I would like to marry Lü Buwei as my wife, and I didn't want to, so I agreed. Why not say yes? Although I had only met him once, I didn't know him very well, but he was young and rich, and most importantly, I began to like him a little.

It wasn't long before I married him. On the day of marriage, I still felt like I was in a trance, like a dream. It wasn't until I walked into the cave room and spent the spring sales together in the red tent that I had a real feeling.

The days after marriage are a kind of bland happiness. Although he was busy all day long, sometimes not seen for days, he was very gentle with me. Compared to my father giving me to those bad old men, I feel very happy and satisfied with such a day.

Until another man appears. This man is the proton sent by the Qin State to the Zhao State, the son of Yiren.

He has some of the same Danfeng eyes as Lu Buwei, but those eyes are clear, and he often has a feeling of not waking up, with a hint of laziness. But when they saw me, the eyes shot a fine light, and then the thin eyelids drooped again. The light was fleeting, but I knew what that strange look meant, and he was as amazed at my beauty as the men who had seen me.

Ever since Lü Buwei met Ying Yiren, he often invited him to his house to drink, and even if Lü Buwei had never invited him, Ying Yiren would often come to his house to look for him. It's just that when Lü Buwei is present, Ying Yiren's eyes are always half-drooping, and when he is not there, I can feel two burning eyes that seem to ignite people fall behind me. I knew where that burning gaze came from, but it wasn't enough to shake me, for I was Lü Buwei's wife.

As the days went by, all of a sudden, I felt sluggish and wanted to vomit when I smelled something greasy. The maid thought I was sick and hurriedly asked someone to check my pulse, only to find out that I was pregnant.

That night, Lü Buwei invited Ying Yiren to come to his house for a drink and chat. I didn't go out, but stayed quietly in my bedroom, waiting for my husband to come back and share the good news.

That night, Lü Buwei returned to the room very late, but the moment he stepped into the bedroom, I woke up from my sleep. But before I could tell him the good news, I heard a news that shocked me: the man I have always loved is actually going to give me to someone else!

I cried angrily and told him about my pregnancy, but the truth told me that I was too stupid and naïve. This man loves neither me nor my children, he loves only power and profit. He, like my father, saw me as a tool, a tool that would give him power.

When I was pregnant with my child and married Ying Yiren, I secretly swore in my heart: Lu Buwei, I, Zhao Ji, will spend my whole life hating you!
